HOOK-AND-EYE PACKAGE.

Application filed August 1, 1919. Serial No. 314,758.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JINDi'ncH WALnEs, a

I citizen of the Czecho-Slovak Republic, re-

siding at Prague, in Bohemia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hook-and-Eye Packages, of which the .following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved package for hooks and eyes and has for its object to provide a package for articles of this kind in which a sample of the contents of the package may be easily and cheaply secured thereto without the use of threads as has heretofore been customary.

In carrying out my invention, the hooks and eyes are inclosed in a suitable package, the package preferably comprising a box formed of a pasteboard blank, the top of the box being slotted from the sides toward the center, the slots terminating in enlarged openings spaced a short distance from each other and preferably near the middle of the top. A sample of the contents of the package is secured in place by means of the slots and openings.

My invention may be more fully described in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the blank from which the package is formed.

Fig. 2 shows a perspective of the blank partly folded andwith the hooks and eyes placed therein.

. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of the completed box.

Fig. 4 shows in perspective the box as illustrated in Fig. 3, but showing the sample attached.

Fig. 5 shows a section through the box on line 5-5 of Fig. 4. I

Fig. 6 shows in perspective the top portion of the box with the cover folded, and

the sample attached thereto.

In the drawings A represents the preferred form of blank from which my package is made, the places for creasing the blank being indicated by dot and dash lines. The blank A is divided into back portion 5, front Shaving sides 6 thereon, bottom 7 connecting the back and front, sides 8 on the back portion 5, flaps 9 and 10 integral Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 13, 1921 with the sides 8, cover 11 and tab 11 on the cover (see Fig. 1).- i

The sides 8 are folded'at right angles to the back 5, and flaps 9 are turned inwardly at right angles to the sides, as shown in Fig.

2. The bottom 7 is then turned at right angles to the back portion 5 and the front 6 is folded over parallel to the back, the sides 6 lying within the sides 8. Flaps 10 may then be folded to hold sides 6 and. 8 together. The box thus formed is thereby held together without the use of glue.

The cover 11 is slotted from each side toward the middle, as indicated at 12 and 12, the slots terminating in enlarged openings 13 and 13 respectively. Between the openings 13 and 13 .the cover is 'not slotted, as indicated at 14. A hook 15 of ordinary construction and of the kind inclosed in the package is passed through the opening 13 in such a way that the hook projects above the top of the box and the wide base is beneath the cover, as shown in Figs. 4 and' 6. The hook 15 is passed through the eye 15 which is fastened in the opening-13 in a similar manner tothe hook. I

In inserting the sample the members 15- and 15' are first hooked together, after which one of the members is passed along one slot until it reaches the enlarged opening, when the other member is inserted by spreading apart the paper on each side of the other extending through the other opening and- I detachably engaging the eye on the outside of the cover.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my nam e. J INDRIOH WALDES.
